Which changes occur when Pt2+ is reduced?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Tomtit [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element or compound gain electrons then this means the element is undergoing reduction.

Also, in reduction oxidation number of the element decreases.

For example, Pt^{2+} + 1e^{-} \rightarrow Pt^{+1}

Thus, we can conclude that the Pt^{2+} gains electrons and its oxidation number decreases.

The correct answer is option 2. When Pt2+ is reduced it loses electrons, oxidizing it. The oxidation number is the charge of the atom. Adding an electron, decreases the net charge consequently the oxidation number.

Answer:

1= Magnesium

2 = Option 3 =  1s² 2s² 2p⁶

Explanation:

An electrically neutral atom consist of equal number of protons and electrons.

The answer for 1st q is magnesium because the electronic configuration showed twelve number of electrons. The atomic number of magnesium is twelve that's why this configuration is of Mg.

Mg₁₂ =  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

The second answer is option three because has atomic number ten and third electronic configuration have ten electrons.

Ne₁₀ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

It is stable electronic configuration. Neon is inert because of this electronic configuration. The outer most shell is completely filled.

borishaifa [10]
When the product formation is decreased if a substance B is added to an enzyme reaction and more substrate being added would not increase the amount of produce formed, then we assume that substance b could be a noncompetitive inhibitor. This type of inhibitor would be one that would bind to the enzyme with or without the presence of a substrate in different sites at the same time. It would change the conformation of the enzyme and also the active sites. As a result, the substrate would not be able to bind to the enzyme more effectively than the usual. The overall efficiency would decrease.

Which of the following correctly describes a compound?
Nutka1998 [239]

A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements.


A compound may be splitted into simpler substances by chemical reactions, and has different properties to those of the elements that form it.


The composition of a compound is fixed: every piece of a compound has the same kind of atoms, bonded in the same way and proportion.


Some examples of compounds are H₂O, NaCl, H₂O₂, CH₃COOH. As you see, they have a chemical formula which states the kind and number of the atoms that form them.


They are different to mixtures, which are formed by two or more compounds, in a variable proportion, and can be separated by physical media. Some examples of mixtures are the solutions (e.g. NaCl dissolved in H₂O), and some solid mixtures (e.g. a mixture of marbles and sand).

RSB [31]

Answer:

C2H5NO

Explanation:

constituent elements                    N              O               C                H

Mass composition                     0.420        0.480         0.540         0.135

mole ratio                                   0.42/14       0.48/16      0.54/12         0.135/1

                                              = 0.03                0.03             0.045         0.135

dividing by the smallest           0.03/0.03     0.03/0.03    0.045/0.03 0.135/0.03

ratio                                      =        1                      1                1.5                 4.5

                                             =        1                      1                  2                   5

EMPERICAL FORMULA = C2H5NO
